A Beautiful Dream

Overview

"For her next movie, De eso no se habla, María Luisa Bemberg needs a dwarf". That was an ad on local media during the pre-production of the movie that would become the director's last. Among the people who responded to the ad was Alejandra Podestá, who ended up getting the leading role alongside Marcello Mastroianni. Through testimonies of various friends, members of the crew, and the words of Alejandra herself, who was brutally murdered in 2011, A Beautiful Dream tells us the story of the making of the film and the relationship between Bemberg and Podestá, which winds up being a tribute to both women.
